Travis,
Please do not ever advise anyone to tamper with a file associated with a
shared service like the one we have here.
I am expressing this because right now I am experiencing what happens when
someone, not myself, does this kind of tampering and not knowing what they
are doing, creates problems for everyone.
First our lynx startfile disappeared entirely..for two days.
then when it returned, it came to a start page that does not work fully
with lynx, all the items provided lead to YouTube, which as others have
noted no longer really works with lynx at all.
Its 5 a. m. I have been up all night waiting until I can call our admin
because either we have a security risk, or the same person tampering with
lynx has also changed the browser associated with email accounts,
meaning I am not going to get any work done today either.
Do not ever even hint that I am unwilling to help myself. tampering with
config files that are provided by shared hosting services like this ought
to be a crime.
dreamhost does not even understand how lynx works at all, I provided them
with a trace file showing how I cannot reach our work control panel, and
even though they duplicated the problem they could, or would not fix the
issue.
Its one reason why I happily pay so much for shellworld, I can get my work
done, at least when no one is damaging the services here.

You can easily create your own lynx.cfg file, put it in your home directory,
then start lynx with a -cfg=<filename> command line parameter, and poof, you
have full control over your lynx configuration, no need to depend on the
system wide one at all.

Russell,
Because my access to lynx is tied to a service, I do not edit their
lynx.cfg files.
In fact, I do not even know where they are kept.
